Chapter 1336: Side Story: Having the Whole World in View (13)

The ship sailed forward quickly. In less than half a day, they saw two large sailboats quickly sailing towards them. With his eyes narrowed, Lin Chengxiu ordered in a low voice, "All soldiers, prepare to resist the enemy!"

The people on the ship instantly got into action, and the people in the cabin immediately prepared their weapons. Meanwhile, the artillery ran to the cannons covered by canvas on the ship and looked at the two ships that were gradually approaching with bright eyes.

Lin Chengxiu asked a soldier to wave the flag at them. "This is a Great Qi merchant ship. It’s a civilian ship. Please retreat quickly!"

As soon as this semaphore was spoken, the pirates on the two ships cried out excitedly, shouting happily, "Those Qi people are really idiots. Why do they have to use this semaphore right before they’re robbed, every single time?"

Soon, the semaphore on the other side changed again. "Great Qi’s merchant ships are under the protection of Great Qi’s soldiers. Please retreat quickly."

This semaphore immediately angered the pirates. They spat and said, "Pfft, what’s so great about the Qi people? They’re totally defenseless against us pirates."

"That’s right. Other than having a lot of money, what else does Great Qi have? Might as well let us have all that money!"

"Raise the flag and let them experience our enthusiasm."

The two ships rushed over even faster, and a flag with a skeleton on it was quickly raised.

Soon, the two boats gradually became clear, and Lin Chengxiu no longer needed to use the telescope to see the skeleton flag floating on the ships. The corners of his mouth curled up as he ordered, "Lift the canvas and greet the enemy with the cannons first. Musketeers, prepare. Archers, prepare for the third round..."

One by one, the orders were given. Tiger Head and Little Lion each held a large sampan and stayed by the side of the ship, followed by 20 people each. As the vanguard team, their mission was to rush to the other party’s ship.

Lin Chengxiu didn’t want the two young masters to take such a huge risk, but they were lawless. Assistant Commander Zhou also asked to let the duo take the lead, so he could only agree helplessly. Still, he was somewhat displeased.

It wasn’t that he was afraid that they would snatch military merits from him, but he was afraid that something would happen to the two of them during the battle. Should that really happen, he could only die as atonement.

Therefore, having these two noble figures in the team was very displeasing.

Tiger Head and Little Lion didn’t know what Lin Chengxiu was thinking. At this moment, they were staring at the two ships that were getting closer and closer. They were surrounding them from both sides, but as soon as they entered the optimal range of the cannons, the two cannons on the ship fired at the same time, shooting towards the two ships from both sides...

The pirates on the ship knew that they had been tricked the moment they saw them lift the canvas to reveal the cannons. How could a civilian merchant ship be equipped with two cannons?

The enemy immediately ordered, "We’ve been tricked. Retreat quickly!"

However, ships were unlike humans who could turn around just like that. At this moment, they were sailing smoothly. In order to speed up, they’d even raised the sail. If they wanted to turn around and leave, not only did they have to turn the rudder, but they also had to lower the sail...

Therefore, Tiger Head and the others saw two ships rushing towards them recklessly...

The two torpedoes landed on the side of the two ships, stirring up waves and jolting their ships...

This time, Lin Chengxiu had brought enough ammunition, so he had his men fire three shots at each of the two ships without hesitation. One of the shots landed right smack on a ship. Not only did the ship break down, but it also killed many people.

More importantly, their continuous attacks gave the other party no chance to bombard them with cannons. Under such momentum, their ship successfully approached the ship that had been blown up by the cannon.

The other ship also rushed over to help.

Because of the close distance, the three ships could no longer use cannons because they had already exceeded the minimum range.

Their side was well-prepared. As soon as the ship approached, two rows of soldiers came out with muskets and fired. When they finished firing all five bullets in their guns, the two rows behind would refill them...

When the ship was close enough for them to use bows and arrows, the pirates immediately trembled in fear when they saw the arrows flying over at a high density. Their limbs went limp.

Right at this moment, Tiger Head and Little Lion quickly carried a sampan each and boarded the other party’s ship. Taking the lead, they charged forward...

When the other party’s rescue ship rushed over, Lin Chengxiu made a prompt decision to leave only one-third of his men to deal with this damaged ship. The remaining two-thirds turned to resist the rescue pirate ship and cover Tiger Head, Little Lion, and the others.

Like gods of death, Tiger Head and Little Lion killed their way over without sparing a single person they passed. Soon, they and the 40 men led by them finished clearing out the pirates on the ship.

This sailboat was not big, and there were only about a hundred pirates on it. Previously, their cannons had killed many of them. In addition to the enemies killed by bows and firearms, they only had to clean up 40 to 50 people.

What really gave them a headache was the pirate ship that did not suffer much damage.

There seemed to be more people on that ship.

Lin Chengxiu commanded without changing his expression, "Attack from the left and right. The musketeers will be in front, and the archers will be behind. Attack alternately. Commandos, prepare the sampan..."

The people on the broken ship quickly gathered on the deck after cleaning up the pirates on the ship. When the pirates on the opposite ship saw that their people had been killed, their expressions changed but they had no choice but to grit their teeth and retreat.

However, it was not easy for Great Qi’s fleet to meet the enemy. How could they let them go just like that?

They knew that the enmity between the two sides was enormous. If they could not slay them all to deter the pirates in the Indian Ocean, the merchant ships of Great Qi would suffer even more cruel revenge in the future.

Hence, Lin Chengxiu ordered an all-out attack. Even Tiger Head and Little Lion, who were on the broken ship, couldn’t care less about the ship that was slowly sinking. They picked up the guns of the pirates on the deck and fired at the other party.

It was impossible to board a sampan at such a distance, but they could fly over using his qinggong. However, only the two brothers and the two secret guards behind them were capable of this feat. Although Tiger Head really wanted to go over, he knew that this was tantamount to suicide. Hence, he could only watch as the pirate ship gradually pulled away.

Lin Chengxiu decisively ordered, "Charge forward!"

The helmsman immediately turned the ship around and sped up to rush over...

"Musketeers of Team One, Team Two, prepare to cover. Archers of Team Three, Team Four, suppress them. Team Six, Team Seven, prepare to board the sampan!"

The warship shifted its bow and blocked half of the pirate ship’s retreat path, coincidentally forming a pincer attack formation with the broken ship. The bow of the warship quickly collided with it, and with a bang, it knocked the pirate ship a large distance away from the broken ship.

Tiger Head quickly grabbed the sampan on the deck and placed it on the other party’s ship. It seemed that because Tiger Head and the others had successfully landed on another pirate ship, the pirates on the ship were very wary of them. Almost as soon as their sampans touched the hull, they went to push it down...

Tiger Head and Little Lion’s men also reacted very quickly. They immediately picked up their guns and fired. Tiger Head and Little Lion jumped up, tapped on the sampan, and rushed onto the pirate ship to start a massacre...

The two secret guards followed closely behind and jumped onto the pirate ship with their young masters.

A pirates, who were lying on the edge of the sampan with their swords in hand, waiting to stab his enemy, watched helplessly as four people flew over their heads and landed behind them. By the time they reacted and wanted to turn around, they felt a pain in their necks and quickly lost consciousness...
